[PATCH] rebase -i: only automatically amend commit if HEAD did not change

From
Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

Message-ID
<alpine.DEB.1.00.0807222235520.8986@racer>

If the user called "rebase -i", marked a commit as "edit", "rebase --continue" would automatically amend the commit when there were staged changes.

However, this is actively wrong when the current commit is not the one marked with "edit". So guard against this.
